Eli Roth

You may have forgot it was a thing – I certainly did – but the official Borderlands movie Twitter account has sprung to life to announce the film will be in cinemas on August 9th, 2024.

fans are in for a treat because publisher Take-Two has no plans on slowing down the franchise; in fact, players should expect to see even more Vault Hunters in the future. The long-running action RPG is widely regarded as one of Take-Two's biggest series, with developer Gearbox earning plenty of praise designing a shooter that's endless replayable, addictive, and oozing style. The studio has confirmed that it's already working hard on the upcoming fourth mainline game, but that doesn't mean the community can't also look forward to some exciting spin-offs.

Borderlands star Ariana Greenblatt says her Tiny Tina was inspired by Margot Robbie portrayal of Harley Quinn.

Video game adaptations are on a hot streak. Films like The Super Mario Bros. Movie and Sonic the Hedgehog 2 were massive box office hits, while series like The Last Of Us and Halo have made for stellar TV shows.

Horror director Eli Roth has given fans a and spoken about the writing process for the chilling slasher sequel.

Actor and comedian Jack Black is in disbelief that someone has yet to craft film adaptations for Rockstar Games' iconic franchises, most notably Grand Theft Auto and Red Dead Redemption.

Despite tumult at developer Gearbox, the studio wants fans to know that isn't in any trouble. Since being acquired by parent company Embracer in 2021, many fans of the long-running shooter role-playing game have expressed concern regarding the state of the project. Now, after reports suggest that Gearbox will soon be sold to a new parent company, employees make it clear that the work on the franchise is progressing steadily.

As with all video game adaptations, there has been some heated discourse surrounding the Borderlands film. Directed by horror icon, Eli Roth, the film struggled through development before finally being slated for release in 2024. Borderlands is based on the widely popular sci-fi first-person shooter of the same name and is admittedly not the easiest property to adapt. The first game is largely considered the weakest, with only a general overarching plot and no emotional character arc. Borderlands 2 is an entirely different matter, and that has a lot to do with the villainy of charismatic dictator, Handsome Jack.

The Borderlands movie trailer has finally dropped and given fans a look at the upcoming live-action adaptation of the popular video game franchise. However, viewers have already noted one change they’re not keen on.

Today, Lionsgate has released the official trailer for the Borderlands movie. Originally announced four years ago when the COVID pandemic was about to explode, the film adaptation of Gearbox's first-person shooter franchise has had its fair of troubles getting to theaters.

We live in an interesting place right now concerning not just video games but video game adaptations. Between fair to amazing adaptations featuring characters from Nintendo, SEGA, Naughty Dog, and even The Pokemon Company, gamers are excited to see their favorite franchises brought to the silver or big screen. Why? Because it seems like now more than ever, they are trying to put effort into them and make them feel, at least in part if not in whole, like their video game counterparts. That brings us to the Borderlands Movie. This piece of film has been in the works for a while, and many wondered if it would ever come out.

Lionsgate Films released the first Borderlands trailer for the upcoming movie adaptation of Gearbox Software’s popular video game franchise. It is set to be released in theaters on August 9, 2024.

Almost three whole years after the movie wrapped filming, the first full trailer for Borderlands is here – and, rather unsurprisingly, it looks like a colorful, chaotic alien-filled riot. Think Mad Max: Fury Road meets Guardians of the Galaxy, but with more explosions and even more attitude...

It’s been years since the Borderlands movie was first announced, and for most of that time, it felt like the film might never come out. But now, almost a decade after we first heard about it, we finally have a trailer for Eli Roth’s Borderlands movie. And surprisingly, it actually kind of looks like Borderlands.

People have posted the first pictures of the cast of the Borderlands movie and they’re looking rather good. The first image shows Cate Blanchett, Jamie Lee Curtis, Kevin Hart, Ariana Greenblatt, and Florian Munteanu along with Claptrap, who is voiced by Kevin Hart.

The co-founder of Gearbox Software has teased what appears to be an update on Borderlands 4.

At first, Kingmakers looks like a normal Chivalry-styled sandbox tactics game. However, watch a bit more of its first trailer — around 23 seconds in — and you’ll see so much more.

A new preview for the video game movie adaptation has been released ahead of the upcoming trailer.

The first photos showing off the upcoming Borderlands film have been released.

Greetings, Polygon readers! Each week, we round up the most notable new releases to streaming and VOD, highlighting the biggest and best new movies for you to watch at home.

Martha Is Dead, the psychological thriller from LKA, is the latest video game franchise to get an adaptation for the big screen.

Jack Black will join the cast of the upcoming Minecraft movie, according to a new report over at Deadline. No plot details on the film are currently available, but the report suggests Black will play the role of Steve.

What are the biggest movies coming in 2024? Surprisingly, there aren't as many superhero films gracing theatres this year, with DC Studios preparing to launch just one, Joker: Folie à Deux, a sequel to Todd Phillips' grounded Batman universe, introducing a new player into the mix. On the Marvel side, we've got four movies — Kraven the Hunter, Deadpool 3, Venom 3, and Madame Web — all suffered shifting release dates due to the Hollywood labour strikes. Denis Villeneuve's Dune: Part Two was another major casualty of the strikes. Originally set to debut in November last year, it got pushed into March when the actors' union barred its star-studded cast — featuring the likes of Timothée Chalamet, Zendaya, and Florence Pugh — from promotional duties and interviews.

Happy December, Polygon readers! It’s the last weekend before the Christmas holiday, and we’ve got a whole sack full of exciting new releases on streaming and VOD for you!

It looks like one of Eli Roth’s most beloved movies may be getting more sequels – that is, as long as he gets to direct them himself. That’s right, the torture-fest continues as the Thanksgiving director teases more Hostel movies. 

Thanksgiving 2 has officially been greenlit.

There are plenty of pros and cons at the box office this week. We’ll start with the good news. The Hunger Games prequel, The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes, opened with a decent but not spectacular $44 million, enough to propel the Francis Lawrence-directed pic to No. 1 domestically, per Deadline.

The list of truly great horror-comedy movies is surprisingly short. Making something funny that’s also convincingly tense and satisfyingly gory takes a delicate touch, which is probably why Wes Craven’s Scream movies are the finest examples we have of hilarious slashers. While the most recent Scream movies have certainly dabbled in bits and pieces of Craven inspiration, they’ve never quite been able to capture the combination of fright and fun that makes the original four movies great. Thankfully, Eli Roth’s goofy, genuinely creepy new slasher Thanksgiving (which originally started as a joke trailer within the Robert Rodriguez and Quentin Tarantino double featureGrindhouse)is here to give Scream and its immediate sequels the follow-up they truly deserve.

No matter how gory Eli Roth's films may be, the Thanksgiving director doesn't believe in the animal violence trope that remains prevalent in the horror genre.

Director Eli Roth says there's a much darker, more serious message behind his fun slasher Thanksgiving.

Though it took a few years (or 10), Director Eli Roth says he's been wanting to make a Thanksgiving-themed slasher film since he was a kid.

Eli Roth wants Thanksgiving to have the same generational impact as Wes Craven's Scream.

Director Eli Roth says his upcoming slasher pic Thanksgiving pushes the limits of the 'hard-R' rating, as well as addressing a potential directors' cut.

Thanksgiving director Eli Roth is keen to turn his upcoming holiday horror into a franchise.

It’s been a hot second since DreamWorks put out a new serialized animated show not based on an existing film franchise. And in the wake of some bigger animated darlings like The Owl House ending, it’s the perfect time for the studio to flex. Fright Krewe, from horror director Eli Roth (Hostel) and YA science fiction author James Frey (I Am Number Four), is a bold swing, ready to step into the void with its horror-focused overarching plot and funky cast of characters. Just in time for Halloween, the new animated series has what it takes to be the next big thing — so long as it gets the time and attention for it all to mesh together.

Finally, DreamWorks Animation’s mysterious Fright Krewehas a trailer, and it looks like everything I could’ve dreamed of.

Gearbox, the U.S. game company behind the Borderlands series, is reportedly up for sale.

There aren’t enough horror movies about Thanksgiving. Sure, there’s ThanksKilling — the movie about the killer turkey — but that’s just not enough when Christmas has so many. Thankfully, Eli Roth is here with Thanksgiving, a slasher that’s technically been 16 years in the making.

Genvid Entertainment and Gearbox Entertainment have announced “interactive streaming series” Borderlands EchoVision Live.

Based on the shooter series of the same name, the Borderlands film now has an official release date: August 9th, 2024. The action-comedy adaptation wrapped principal shooting in 2021, but it’s been somewhat stuck in post-production limbo ever since with several rounds of reshoots pushing out the release further than expected.

Borderlands' film adaptation will hit theatres on August, 9, 2024.

For those among you who, like me, are quite partial to a video game movie adaptation, I have good news.

The long-gestating Borderlands movie finally has a release date, according to Deadline. The well-connected Hollywood-focused website reports today that the adaptation of Gearbox's acclaimed first-person shooter series will debut in theaters on August 9th, 2024.

The Borderlands movie finished shooting in 2021, and given that it's 2023 and we still haven't seen a trailer for it, I'm inclined to think that post-production has not gone entirely as planned. The movie does exist though: Borderlands will be in theaters on August 9, 2024, Gearbox president Randy Pitchford announced today.
